Extract Pixel Values through Circular Region-of-Interests (ROI) from an Image

Description

Light-weighted function to extract pixel values from pre-defined regions-of-interest (ROI) from RLum.Data.Image, array or matrix objects and provide simple image processing capacity. The function is limited to circular ROIs.

Usage

extract_ROI(object, roi, roi_summary = "mean", plot = FALSE)

Arguments

object	RLum.Data.Image, array or matrix (required): input image data
roi	matrix (required): matrix with three columns containing the centre coordinates of the ROI (first two columns) and the diameter of the circular ROI. All numbers must by of type integer and will forcefully coerced into such numbers using as.integer() regardless.
roi_summary	(with default): if "mean" (the default) defines what is returned in the element roi_summary; alternatively "mean", "median", "sd" or "sum" can be chosen. Pixel values are conveniently summarised using the above defined keyword.
plot	logical (optional): enables/disables control plot. Only the first image frame is shown

Details

The function uses a cheap approach to decide whether a pixel lies within a circle or not. It assumes that pixel coordinates are integer values and that a pixel centring within the circle is satisfied by:

x^2 + y^2 <= (d/2)^2

where x and y are integer pixel coordinates and d is the integer diameter of the circle in pixel.

Value

RLum.Results object with the following elements: ..$roi_signals: a named list with all ROI values and their coordinates ..$roi_summary: an matrix where rows are frames from the image, and columns are different ROI The element has two attributes: summary (the method used to summarise pixels) and area (the pixel area) ..$roi_coord: a matrix that can be passed to plot_ROI

If plot = TRUE a control plot is returned.
